Hi there! Since version 3.10, mailutils isn't available on Guix for aarch64 since the test-suite doesn't pass because of a segfault in readmsg tests. You can find the full log here [0] and the bugreport on [1].
Reproducing the crash under GDB, it seems the `weedc' variable isn't
initialized and on this platform is set to `0xffff'. Later on, it causes
a crash.
Here's a reproducer, ran in GDB:
```
$ export

$ export
FOLDER=/tmp/guix-build-mailutils-3.10.drv-0/mailutils-3.10/testsuite/spool/mbox1
$ ... edit readmsg script so that `gdb --args' is prepended
$ /tmp/guix-build-mailutils-3.10.drv-0/mailutils-3.10/readmsg/readmsg --no-site

If we set `weedc' to zero, then the readmsg tests all pass and we're
good to go to update mailutils in Guix!
Thanks,
Pierre
